Hi, I've some questions for which I couldn't find good answers online and I'd like your suggestions.
OS: Linux/Debian 8 Jessie LXC: 1.0.6-6 Backing store: LVM It seems that snapshot clones cannot be done online : "lxc-clone -s" require the original container to be stopped! i.e. : << lxc_container: error: Original container (lxc1) is running >> It actually works when I lxc-stop the container. ==>This means I cannot do a snapshot of a live container. Does this depends on LVM or the same apply for btrfs and zfs? BTW, all the online examples I've found regarding "lxc-clone -s" seems to assume online clone snapshotting ! ==>What is the difference between "lxc-clone -s" and "lxc-snapshot" ? In any case: lxc-snapshot _doesn't_ work at all (in my configuration) i.e. : > root@deb:~# lxc-snapshot -n lxc1 -o /tmp/mylog > lxc-snapshot: lxc1's backing store cannot be backed up. > lxc-snapshot: Your container must use another backing store type. > lxc-snapshot: Error creating a snapshot > ==>Again, is it a problem of LVM backing store ? And, can I change the working directory of lxc-snapshot at runtime? If you have any reference to online resource on this subject (lvm/lxc) is welcome :) Regards, -- Marco
